This is my design and based on a woman I knew from the age of 3 years old.  She was a wee bit of a woman who helped care for my ailing grandmother.  Auntie Peanut loved our family as much as we loved her and she used to say that my hair was so curly that I looked just like Shirley Temple. 

The mat measures 12 1/2"  x  12 1/2" and is hooked using #8 wool strips.  Her kerchief bow is a piece of wool which I stitched into place to look three-dimensional and her hair is natural wool roving to give that dimensional look again.  A sleeve has been sewn in the back so it is ready to use as a wall hanging.  $85 plus shipping.

Debbie's Horse measures  17" x 29 1/4" and is a design by Woolley Fox.  I hooked the rug using #8 and #8.5 wool strips.  The earthy colors gives it an old look and the lighter color at the bottom grounds the piece. 

It would look lovely above a fireplace, on a harvest table, at a cabin or a gift for that horse lover you know.

The Jack-in-the-Box is ready to be used as a wall hanging or could be displayed on a dresser of a child's room.  This would make a wonderful gift for an expectant parent or even your own child's room.  It measures 12" x 18 1/2", has been hooked using both hand dyed wool and as is textured wool.  At the tip of the cap there is a gold bell and in it's hands is a woolen piece of wool with the word 'Smile' stitched using embroidery floss.

I could customize the piece by embroidering the child's name and replace the one that is presently shown.  Or, if you want no sign you can easily remove the 'Smile' wording with just a couple snips of thread holding it in place .

Snip-n-Tuck Keeper  4

Everyone tries to make a better mouse trap and I think I've made one. 

The first pic to the right shows how the pouch portion is attached with Velcro.  This way if you use the keeper to hold your snippets, it can be removed from the magnet without removing the magnets and scissors from the frame.

The second picture shows how I use my Snip-n-Tuck Keeper; I put my scissors on the top magnet and my hooks in the pouch.  There is a heavy piece of canvas sewn into the bottom to prevent the hooks from penetrating the wool.  The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper is $25 plus shipping. 

I am always creating more styles, colors and shapes, please e-mail me if you wish to see a picture of the ones I have in stock now or would like a special order.  I recently had a guy request a more manly one with no appliqué at all, and in a grey herringbone.

 The Snip-n-Tuck Keeper has a Velcro  attachment.      The magnets and Velcro are strong      One magnet goes below the backing and one on top.       enough to hold a few hooks inside

  This Ying and Yang design is another version of the Snip-n-Tuck which is not removable with Velcro.  Again there is a piece of canvas sewn in the bottom so that the hooks cannot penetrate thru.  If you would like pictures of other designs in stock, please write me.
